The Traffic and Transport Meeting on July 2nd had 32 participants and was attended by PDC officers and Mr. Gerry Prodohl of Buro Happold, the principal author of the Traffic and Transport element of the ING planning application. He presented a briefing paper and answered many questions from the floor. It was recognised that there were still issues with the volume of traffic and that Buro Happold, on behalf of ING, would negotiate demand management and other mitigations with the County Council and the Highways Agency. Some of the important issues raised will be addressed at the next meeting of Traffic and Transport.

Harvey's Foundry Trust - Heritage Working Group
Although a separate organisation, Harvey's Foundry Trust is focussed on achieving many of the same goals as the Hayle Area Plan Partnership and shares many members. The newly-formed Heritage Working Group is tasked with the development and creation of the heritage and education centre to be built on the Harvey's Foundry site and to develop exhibition materials, interpretation of Hayle's history and to arrange for the conservation, storage and display of artefacts and objects related to Hayle's history. One exciting project is the dismantling of the Goonvean steam engine and pump, part of which was built in Hayle, and its reinstallation at Foundry.
We are looking for additional members, with a variety of backgrounds, who could contribute to the working group. We are also in need of a Secretary, and anyone able to take minutes and write letters would be welcomed.
To find out more, please contact Laura Christon at harveysfoundry@btconnect.com or on 01736 757683.
